Paint Correction and Polishing Services

What is Paint Correction?

Paint correction is a multi-step polishing process that is an essential part of auto detailing, designed to remove swirls, scratches, and paint defects caused by improper washing, environmental damage, and general wear over time. Unlike basic polishing services, paint correction focuses on safely enhancing the condition of your clear coat to restore gloss and clarity without compromising paint integrity. Each vehicle’s paint is unique, which is why paint correction is available in clearly defined stages based on the condition of the paint and desired results, often paired with ceramic coating for long-lasting protection.

What’s Included?

Every Paint Correction Includes

  • Thorough pre-wash and decontamination
  • Machine polishing based on selected stage
  • Final paste wax for enhanced gloss and short-term protection

Paint Correction Stages and Pricing

Stage 1 | Paint Enhancement - $250

Best for: Well-maintained vehicles with light swirling or dull paint, our auto detailing services include light machine polishing to enhance gloss and remove light swirls and wash marks. This paint correction process improves paint clarity and shine, typically removing ~40–50% of light swirls. If you're considering ceramic coating, this polishing service is an excellent precursor. Estimated time for this service is 2–3 hours, but time may vary based on vehicle size and paint condition.

Stage 2 | Paint Correction - $400

Best for: Moderate swirls and noticeable scratches. Our auto detailing service utilizes a compound and polish process specifically designed for paint correction, effectively addressing deeper defects and restoring paint clarity. This process removes moderate swirls and scratches, typically achieving ~60–70% defect removal, resulting in significantly improved gloss and depth. Additionally, applying a ceramic coating afterward can enhance the durability of the finish. Estimated time: 4–5 hours, though this may vary based on vehicle size and paint condition.

Stage 3 | Heavy Paint Correction - $550

Best for neglected paint or severe defects, this heavy paint correction process uses wool or microfiber pads to effectively address deep swirls and scratches. This stage typically achieves approximately 80–90% defect removal, resulting in a dramatic improvement in gloss and overall paint clarity. Due to the intensive nature of this correction, the estimated time is 6–7 hours, though this may vary depending on vehicle size and paint condition, particularly if a ceramic coating is applied afterward.

Important Notes for Paint Correction

What to Expect


Paint correction through professional auto detailing improves the appearance of your vehicle but does not make the paint 'perfect.' The results of paint correction can vary depending on the condition of the paint, its hardness, and any prior damage. Additionally, deep defects that compromise the clear coat may remain, which can affect long-term paint safety even after polishing services or applying ceramic coating.
